Work plays a central role in our lives and in our social identity. It not only represents a means to achieve economic independence, but is also a source of personal fulfillment and social inclusion.
Several structural shifts are currently reshaping the world of work. Let’s explore the trends that are creating a paradigm shift for both people and organisations:
The private employment industry is a key actor on labour markets and tracking the trends and developments of their various components is of great importance for the World Employment Confederation. We have developed a series of tools offering an overview of the latest statistics on some of the most relevant labour market indicators at national, regional and global level.
This fact sheet provides a comprehensive overview of regional and global labour markets based on statistics from various international organisations (ILO, World Bank, OECD, etc.). It is updated on an annual basis.
Want to find out how the labour force participation rate evolves? Or see the difference in employment growth by contract type? Dive into our Global Labour Market Fact Sheet 2022 which also offers an overview of the evolution during the Covid-19 crisis.
This interactive research tool allows users to track employment indicators across European countries, based on Eurostat data and statistics on the Agency Work sector provided by the WEC’s members. The Barometer also demonstrates correlations between trends in the Agency Work sector and other employment indicators as well as GDP. It is jointly developed by the World Employment Confederation and Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) and it is updated on a quarterly basis.
The World Employment Confederation produces various statistical briefings that are regularly updated.
